The front leaf suspension reminds me of a Sno Pony

Looks to me like you have a willing helper there that wants to go for a ride.

Better get right on this machine and make his dreams come true.

Super Savage looks right, but sure looks similar to the Ski-Lark.

Near as I can tell, they are identical except for the hoods- the holes are different spots and they are shaped just a little different. Everything else looks very similar. Think its going to end up black and silver with some John Deere stickers on it...
